Excerpt from Journal and Memoirs of the Marquis D'argenson, Vol. 2So here is the storm beginning to swell, they mean to take the king on the inconveniences of possessing a mistress of such low birth, and little by little bring him to disgust through shame: for this purpose the dauphin would not let the dauphine go to the private theatricals, and made her sham illness. The queen guides the family with certain advice Which she has taken, M. De Maurepas whispers this system in her ear, and by this means she is getting some consideration at Court, whereas the king takes no counsel, and has confidence in no one, not even his mistress. In what danger I see him stand on all sides! I have em deavoured to be his friend I did so through the purest truth, absolutely detached from ambition, and they told him I had not the Court air he believed them, and dismissed me. I was the only one who would have guided him aright.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
